After traveling for a few miles on a road that gradually became muddier and muddier, we take a secondary track that is perhaps even muddier, there are huge puddles and mud everywhere but Sir Stanley Speke seems to get away with it, thanks to the expert driving by Safe.

We finally arrive along the Seronera River, in the central part of the Serengeti National Park, but, unlike the dry season, where we understand perfectly where the river is, since it is the only green spot in the area, now around us both trees and grass are green; it's really a spectacular landscape.

Surely it is more difficult to spot the animals with this vegetation, but it is nice to see the park so "alive" and not dry as during the dry season.

We walk along the river looking for some animals, there are a lot less cars than in the dry season, on one side it is better because there is less crowd, on the other it is more difficult to spot the animals because there are fewer guides looking.

Despite this we can see a leopard on a Sausage Tree or Kigelia Africana; it's a bit far away but with the binoculars we can see it very well: it's sitting there on the branch with its tail hanging down, it's too beautiful!

We continue our tour and see a martial eagle on a branch with a prey, it is impossible to understand what animal it was but we can only understand that it has the tail; the eagle looks around with its killer look, at one point it looks in our direction, crossing its gaze through the lens of the camera and this makes me shivering.

From here we go back and leave the area of the Seronera River, our camp is a bit far from here, and above all we do not know how the streets are, there could be mud and water, so better to leave in time; we'll be back tomorrow morning in this area and we'll have plenty of time to go on a safari, looking for the animals.

It takes almost an hour to get to the Acacia Tented Camp because the roads are full of mud and water and a couple of times Sir Stanley Speke slides a bit with the rear wheels, but Safe is driving serene and so we are quiet!

The Acacia Tented Camp is a beautiful camp, the central part consists of two well-furnished tents, that are located on a wooden platform, while the guests' tents are large and well-furnished; we like it so much, too bad we stop here only one day.
